Hello Everyone! I am getting banded on March 5th and I am so excited. I have been on my pre-op diet for 5 days now and it seems to be going pretty good. Not finding myself to hungry so I hope that is a good sign. I can't wait to start my new chapter of my life after being banded. Good luck March Bandsters!!

Hi Everyone, I will be banded on March 27th. The doctor's office called me this last Friday and I started to cry. I had called the nurse earlier in the day and they told me that I would not be banded until May. Then he called me back and said that he had an opening on March 27th if I was interested. I said yes. Mean while my new hire that I was teaching orientation was giving me this wierd look until I explained what was going on. Then she started to cry. :thumbdown:

Good to all of you. I was banded march 21 and doing very well, I'm so happy that I decided to do this. I was so worry before hand and scared to death. But everything went smoothly. I had no gas pains, no pain, and no problems. I'm still on liquids, full liquids and I'm never hungry. But i know I have to to keep up my energy. I love reading all the posts, I've learned a awful lot just from reading what everyone has to say. I'm so thankful you are all here in the same boat with me............By now you are all banded so we all have alot to talk about............good luck to all.....sue:thumbup:

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
